Picture Frames - The Kooks
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
Hello everyone! I was trying to figure out the new song Picture Frames which can
currently only be found on here => http://www.tape.tv/vid/138861 but it turned out to be rather
difficult especially when Luke plays some variations and I am hoping that someone who's
better at playing the guitar might figure it out with the help of my tab.
Here's what I've got so far. I'm happy for any sort of suggestions! Please leave them in
the comments below!

G#maj7 [4 x 5 5 7 7] Luke first slides down on the E-string to the 4th fret, then plays

'Bout the picture in your picture frame
It was drawn o
f a fountain i
n your body
Bought for a f
#
iver most prob
ably
F#*
Didn't mean a lot to me
You tell me th
at you'd never
sell this
That life itse
lf is within t
his
That the artis
t himself was
beneath this
And I looked a
t the sky to w
orship the gro
und
And you never
asked for noth
ing at all
But you asked
me to come in
from the cold
And to warm he
r bed as she f
olds me and un
folds me again
Time will make
fools of us a
ll
G#maj7 G Em(+variations)
It's time to find meaning or control
Every time we
go out now she
pretends
Pretends we're
not lovers ju
st friends
F#*
And it gets to me
She tells me t
he meaning of
life is
To be happy an
d to give up l
oss
But you've nev
er lost someth
ing you loved
I turn around
how could I be
angry at her?
When she never
asked for not
hing at all
But she asked
me to come in
from the cold
And to warm he
r bed as she f
olds me and un
folds me again
and unfolds m
e again
And I never as
ked for nothin
g at all
Even as the wo
lves glowered
at my door
And I'll do my
best to fold
her and unfold
her again and
unfold her ag
ain
And she never
asked for noth
ing at all.
